by Kazuo Ishiguro
Set in 1930's London and Shanghai this is the story of Christopher Banks and his lifelong search to find out what happened to his parents who disappeared when he was ten years old and living in Shanghai.
He has been brought up and educated in England and has become a famous detective but this story is more than a detective story-in fact it is never really that. It is about chasing dreams, obsession and disappointment. It is about unreliable memory and about growing up an orphan. It keeps giving but never answering the reader's questions. I loved it 8/10
